They will never perish. Nothing can grab them out of His hand. The Lord has given His life so they will be able to live. He gave it freely of His own will. His death was not a tragedy, not a victory for violence and injustice. He had the strength to overpower His enemies, but He chose to give His life for them instead. -- Bishop Bo Giertz, *To Live with Christ* p. 307
[Let me add that I cannot recommend this book highly enough for someone who is new to the faith and desiring a grounding in it that is deep and yet accessible]
